RUMORS OE EVERY CHARACTER
are aflOat to night regarding the probable re-
suit of tO-msrTow's voting in joint assem-
bly,. The Hobbies OF the hotels are filled
with eager aud eNpectant politicians who
make their predictions as tn the outcome
with every assurance on their part at least
that they are correct and know whereof
they speak. That Senator
will be elected to I'LL the vacancy there Is
no reason TO doubt 1t is claimed by the
friends of Senator Camden that he will he
elected tomorrow, and that no later than
the second ballot. Considerable talk aud
rumor was current during the day and to-
night with reference TO the fact that
SENATOR SwTTZER
did not vote in the Senate to-day for Uni
ted States Senator. When his name was
called by the Clerk no response was beard
from Mr.. Switzer. He merely looked to-
wards the Clerks desk and smiled, and
the Clerk passed on to the next name
on the roll. / heard a prominent
man say to-day that if Switzer was not
recorded to- morrow As voting for Senator
Camden he would not be recorded at all,
and might possibly remain out of the as
sembly. Another gentleman, speaking
of Senator Camden's chances, remarked
that if Switzer should vote for Camden, the
latter gentleman's election was assured be-
yond the possibility Ofa doubt.
Its also rumored that two and probably
four Republicans would remain out OF the
joint assembly.
